QntheTwentiethCentury.Many people believe that language belongs to human beings. However, cats have developed a language not for each other, but for the human beings who have them as pets.When communicating with each other, cats “talk" with a system of signals. Their tails, rather than any kind of “speech”, act as an important way to express themselves. They also touch each other to express their feelings. With other cats, they will use their voices only to express pain. Unbelievably, all of that changes when a human walks into the room. Cats use many different kinds of vocal（声音的）expressions when they communicate with a person. Since these vocal expressions are not used to communicate with other cats, it seems that cats have developed this “language” to communicate with their human owners.This fact is shown more clearly when researchers are watching rooms that have only one cat and those with several cats. And when there is only one cat in the room, it is usually very vocal, since the only creature around with whom the cat can communicate is its owner. Cats with other cats, though, are much quieter. If they want to have a conversation, they only need go to other cats and communicate in their natural way.Since cats have learned to meow（ 口苗嗜叫）for the only purpose of communicating with human owners, their owners should take the time to learn what their different meows mean. If an owner knows, to name just a few examples, which meow means the cat is hungry, which means the cat wants to be petted, and which means the cat wants to have a little “conversation"，the relationship between cats and owners will be closer.24. If a cat, together with other cats, finds its body hurts, it may express it with itsA. tail B. eyes C. head D. voice25. When a human enters a room with some cats, what will they do?A. Stop making any noise. B. Use their tails to show love.C. Begin to use vocal expressions. D. Stop communicating with each other.26. What are cat owners advised to do?A. Communicate more with cats. B. Learn to meow in different ways.C. Encourage cats to talk with each other. D. Teach cats to understand human language.27. What is the text mainly about?A. The language of cats. B. Advice on keeping pets.C. Pets' different expressions. D. Communication among cats.CMany people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts, however, will tell you that you're never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.When young children learn a new language, they come to see all kinds of languages as a "normal" part of society. This mindset（思维模式）helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like they're doing something unusual or "too hard".So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It's never too late to learn a new language. If you're older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you're a young child, though, now it is the time to step out and learn a new language!28. By saying "language is their lifb” in Paragraph 2, the author means that childrenA. can't live without languageB. lead a happy life
